• This morning Marley was awake bright and early. She is feeling much better today-I think that I liked Marley when she was a little more tired and sedate. She is trying to lick her stitches so we have had to be a bit more on top of her today. 
• Bentley is acting odd today-she isn't eating a treat that is on the floor unless she lays down to eat it. We think she just pulled something because otherwise everything else is normal. She probably pulled something at some point when her and Marley were acting a fool.
• This morning, everyone but Graham met me at Top Golf. Nonna and Pops joined us-they played some too. I think that they both really enjoyed it. The kids had fun too. On the way home, the kids ran to Sonic to pick up some 99 cent corndogs and drinks. Keaton and Whitman heated up a frozen corndog too at home and had a taste test. They both agreed that the frozen one was better.
• This afternoon I walked some and then did some school work with Whitman. He is going to finish a few things this summer and won't have to do them during the year. 
• Robby started his pressure washer and went to work on Reagan's dorm room rugs. Just a note-if you are ever buying rugs for a dorm room, don't buy anything that is white or cream colored. They were filthy! Bad enough that if we were not able to get them clean, then I would have bought her new ones.
• Robby worked for a few hours, and they are not perfect; however, they are much, much better. I can't even describe how bad they are-like these girls just walk around barefoot all day and then clean their feet on the rug. I took some pictures, and I'll post them so you can see that I'm not exaggerating.
• Tonight we had a mission trip meeting for Campbell, Keaton, and Graham. I went to that while Robby continued to work on the rugs. When he went to hang them up to dry, Anderson had to help him because they weigh a zillion pounds. 
• After the meeting, Campbell and Graham went out with their friends while Keaton and I came home, I had made a meal tonight, but since I had seen it on Facebook, I didn't make anyone eat it. Keaton and I thought it was decent, but Anderson disagreed. It is definitely one that I don't have to save the recipe, but it also killed hunger so it did its job.
